OUR COMMITMENT TO TEACHING, LEARNING, AND SKILLS

We will continue to deliver pioneering and innovative teaching via our multifaceted learning and skills development strategy. Our employment of a range of evidence-supported approaches across in-person, digital, and blended modes will make our students aware of existing and future global health challenges - and ensure that they are prepared to tackle them.

DIGITAL INNOVATION

OTC Consult - Supporting Students with Condition Management

Launched in 2018, the OTC Consult application provides student pharmacists and professionals with an easy to use and access platform which can be used to assist with the management of a wide range of health conditions, and is currently used by hundreds of individuals across the United Kingdom.

Developed by Professor Lezley-Anne Hanna and Professor Maurice Hall from the School, OTC Consult has been downloaded by a range of healthcare professionals, and also acts as an exceptionally useful source of support for students across all stages of study within the MPharm programme.

Lezley-Anne and Maurice have been recognised for the impact which OTC Consult has made to learning and teaching within the School, receiving an e-Health and Innovation in Pharmacy Practice Award at the 2018 Pharmacy in Focus Awards.
